You are so much fun to watch. I love your personality. Thank you for the info about Montreal. Thankfully I won't have to deal with the commute since I'm retired. I guess every city has a bad rush hour.

Hi, Anna; can you please do a current video specifying on the 2024 cost of living in Quebec? I will really appreciate if you could to that. Please don’t forget to highlight on the cost of single room and double room apartment for 2024. Thank you

[@kaitlinbiddau]

Out of the entire world, they chose MTL 😫🤣 I feel the same. I could have been on the Mediterranean growing up hahahaha but MTL has its perks for sure! Great video girl

I enjoy watching your video, I like your personality. I’m thinking about moving to Canada in a couple of years from the US. I’m planning on visiting this fall, I’m deciding between Montreal and Toronto. The weather will not be a bother to me since I lived in the Midwest and South of the US. 😂😂extreme hot and cold weather. Is racism a big issue in Montreal? Is it as bad as the US?

[@ANNAMUTOMBO]

Thank you so much for your nice comment! Wow hahah you’re definitely ready for canadian weather than 😂😂 about racism I don’t really know for Toronto but in Montreal there definitely is racism but it’s really not as bad as in the U.S. It really depends also on the neighborhood. But Honestly as a black woman I really feel comfortable walking around at pretty much any time of the day or the night almost everywhere in Montreal. So I would definitely recommand Montreal and visiting first as you’re planning to is a really good idea!

[@ericktwelve11]

Montreal is better, Toronto is too expensive for everyone. just stick with Montreal QC.

[@paulaannstewartTHANKFUL2024]

Most Montrealers are open and not racist per se...but our police are. Our politicians try to divide us.

[@pinkmatter11]

Wow. I had no clue you lived in Montreal, Canada!! I live in Niagara Falls, NY. Not close but semi close lol

[@ANNAMUTOMBO]

Oh that’s crazy we’re not so far from each other! I didn’t even know there was a place call Niagara Fall in NY, at first I thought you meant Ontario lol

[@pinkmatter11]

Anna Mutombo haha yes. It’s literally right across from each other. The water separates it. So from my side i can see the Ontario side. I can see Ontario from my house actually

[@NappilyDaya]

Construction😭😭

[@ANNAMUTOMBO]

Montréal ne serait pas Montréal sans toute cette construction 😭😂

[@babines42]

I disagree. Not most Montrealers speak franglais. Chez les jeunes, oui, il y a un effet de mode et une inconscience face aux conséquences du franglais. Et ce sont les francophones qui parlent franglais, rarement les anglophones. Autrement, j'ai plutôt l'impression que les gens parlent soit français, soit anglais. Il y a toujours une langue dominante en chacun de nous.

Must one know French language to live in Montreal ?

[@ANNAMUTOMBO]

Hey girl! No you don’t have to, but it really helps to at least understand it. But this city is so bilingual you’ll learn it in no time

[@joenroute9646]

But it is rude and disrespecful towards the locals not to try to soeak french in a french speaking society.

[@wiiiz3]

just stay away from the east end

[@glennhenden2622]

I have been here in Portugal for two years after spending 64 years in Montreal. This person should learn to speak French. I am an Anglophone and it took a long time to learn but to work it is a necessity. This was a nice video I agree the diversity of Montreal makes it great I wish all people could understand that. Have a nice sunny cold day. Bomb Dia.

[@hdufort]

If you never ever get out of the west island or downtown you can function in English and ignore French all you want. But what's the point of living in Montreal if you don't visit the rest of Québec? You'll never see the Fall colors,.you won't go swimming in a lake, you won't go to a sugar shack, you won't visit the old city of Québec or cute villages. So if you want to really enjoy living in Montreal, and not miss out on 80% of what's going on in the province, it's good to learn some French.
